Alicia 26, Designer

Got Her: Ave C and 2nd St

Stalked Her: Actually, we jumped off our bike to catch her. Her hat piece was so beautiful!

Shot Her: Because she said she was the designer of the piece!

She Says: “These hats are one-of-a-kind. I hand make every one. They are sewn out of things like felt, silk, and banana fibers.”

We Say: We wish we had a response like that for our clothes..
